Join us for an enriching five-day program that weaves together Indigenous and Western knowledge to provide a two-eyed seeing understanding of trauma and grief. Two co-facilitators will share their wisdom and expertise to provide a relational approach to providing meaningful support. The co-facilitators will create a collaborative and reciprocal learning environment that allows space for everyone to be learners and teachers. You will have the opportunity to self-reflect on your reconciliation journey while considering both Western and Indigenous approaches to supporting individuals, families, and communities affected by trauma and grief.    

Key Elements

  • Two-eyed Seeing view of the world as mentioned in Albert Marshall's book - which is the blending of both Western clinical and cultural approaches for responding to those experiencing trauma and grief
  • Co-facilitated by Indigenous and non-Indigenous trainers
  • A relational, reciprocal approach to sharing and understanding the impacts of trauma and grief
